Straight from the press release: VeriSign Files Lawsuit Against ICANN MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA - February 26, 2004 - VeriSign, Inc. the leading provider of critical infrastructure services for the Internet and telecommunications networks, today announced that it has filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in the Central District of California against the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). The suit alleges that ICANN overstepped its contractual authority and improperly attempted to regulate VeriSign's business in violation of its charter and its agreements with VeriSign. By straying from its charter and agreement to be a technical coordination body, VeriSign asserts that ICANN has improperly attempted to become the de facto regulator of the domain name system and in doing so stifled the introduction of new services that benefit Internet users and promote the growth of the Internet.
